Paul<p><strong>Struggling to install Whisper models for Kdenlive’s smart transcription plugin? Try this…</strong></p><p>First, credit where credit is due: the following solution was cobbled together combining both advice from Kdenlive developers and a tutorial by <a href="https://vkc.sh/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Veronica Explains</a> linked below.</p><p>So, if you are having a hard time installing <em>Whisper</em> models on Kdenlive’s latest Flatpak package, here’s how I did it.</p><p>Stop Kdenlive and open a terminal window.</p><p>From the command line, run:</p><pre><code>flatpak run --command=/bin/bash org.kde.kdenlive</code></pre><p>That 👆 was blatantly copied from the <a href="https://vkc.sh/speech-recognition-and-automatic-captioning-on-the-kdenlive-flatpak/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Veronica Explains</a>‘ blogpost mentioned above that covers something related.</p><p>To quote her:</p><blockquote><p>To break that down: <code>flatpak run</code> invokes the flatpak program to run an application. You can use that to run your Flatpak programs directly from the terminal (useful when running a window manager or building a startup script).</p><p>The program we’re running is <code>org.kde.kdenlive</code>, which is the application ID for the Kdenlive program.</p><p>In between <code>flatpak run</code> and <code>org.kde.kdenlive</code>, we have <code>--command=/bin/bash</code>, which will tell Flatpak that we want to run the bash prompt inside the Kdenlive Flatpak runtime, the sandboxed environment available to the Flatpak version of the Kdenlive application.</p></blockquote><p>Hats off to Veronica for explaining things so well.</p><p>Anyway… You won’t see any difference when you jump into the sandboxed environment—no warning will be displayed and the prompt will remain unchanged.</p><p>Trust me, a no message is a good message: everything will be working as it should.</p><p>From inside the environment run Whisper on an audio or video file, any audio or video file:</p><pre><code>$HOME/.var/app/org.kde.kdenlive/data/kdenlive/venv/bin/whisper [_some video or audio file_]</code></pre><p>This will make Whisper automatically download the default model (which is <code>turbo</code>) and install it, before proceeding to transcribe the spoken bits of the file’s audio track.</p><p>Note that you can install other models with a slight variation:</p><pre><code>$HOME/.var/app/org.kde.kdenlive/data/kdenlive/venv/bin/whisper --model large [_some video or audio file_]</code></pre><p>Apart from <code>turbo</code> and <code>large</code>, you have a choice between <code>tiny</code>, <code>tiny.en</code>, <code>base</code>, <code>base.en</code>, <code>small</code>, <code>small.en</code>, <code>medium</code> and <code>medium.en</code>. That said, <code>turbo</code> should serve you just fine for most cases.</p><p>Once downloaded and transcribed, Whisper generates between one and several text/subtitle files in the current directory. If You don’t need them, you can safely remove them.</p><p>You can stop the virtual environment by typing</p><pre><code>exit</code></pre><p>And then start Kdenlive normally.</p><p>Check the models in <em>Settings</em> &gt; <em>Configure Kdenlive…</em> &gt; <em>Plugins</em> &gt; <em>Speech to text</em> and clicking on the <em>Model</em> drop down. Tada!</p><p>Interestingly, if you now try downloading more models from inside Kdenlive, it will work flawlessly.</p><p>I guess it just needs that little nudge.</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://quickfix.es/tag/captions/" target="_blank">#captions</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://quickfix.es/tag/kde/" target="_blank">#KDE</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://quickfix.es/tag/kdenlive/" target="_blank">#kdenlive</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://quickfix.es/tag/linux/" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://quickfix.es/tag/open-source/" target="_blank">#openSource</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://quickfix.es/tag/software/" target="_blank">#software</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://quickfix.es/tag/technology/" target="_blank">#technology</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://quickfix.es/tag/videoediting/" target="_blank">#videoediting</a></p>

Mark<p>I really like the easy way that NixOS enables you to get rid of all cruft through one config file. Discover, kwallet and elisa are part of the Plasma metapackage. Removing them in other distros gets you the warning that you, by removing them, are actually removing Plasma. Not so in NixOS. a clean working Plasma session remains, without those unnecessary addons. Re-adding them is one simple edit away.</p><p><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/nixos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nixos</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/kde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kde</span></a></p>

Chris :opensuse:<p>Dolphin always asks if you want to move, copy, or link a file when dragging and dropping into folders. A lot of people have complained about this but I find this behavior quite nice. I've accidentally moved many files to other folders without realizing back in my Windows/non-KDE days. If I accidentally drag and drop something the context menu lets me know I did it before taking any action. Thats solid default behavior in a similar way to double-click to open being the default.</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/kde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kde</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/dolphin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dolphin</span></a></p>
